Event Matchmaking - FAQ

How does the AI Matchmaking actually work?

Grip uses a vast array of data sources to deliver it's matchmaking experience. There is more than 10 different 'strategies' that Grip uses to recommend people. Some are based on previous meetings and connections people like you have made, others are based on your profile data and finding you people with similar profile data.

Why are recomendations from Grip better than static rules?

Grip's recommendations are better than static rules because they learn based on actions people take in real time.

A static rules matchmaking engine will never learn from these interactions and never improves past the initial set up.

Can you provide your recommendations engine outside for ongoing communities?

Yes we can! You can integrate with our API to for example give recommendations of job descriptions, people to meet with in a 365 community. We're excited about working with you to get the most out of our matchmaking engine.
